Automate lead routing, enrichment, and onboarding workflows; enforce SLAs and champion operational efficiency through documentation, governance, and process automation.
- Lead day-to-day optimization of institutional GTM workflows across compliance, liquidity, and trading connectivity—partnering with Operations, Compliance, and Product to reduce friction and improve trading velocity.
- Manage sales reporting, analytics, and planning execution using AWS QuickSight, CRM data, and other internal data sources, to deliver actionable insights to executive stakeholders. Support forecasting models, scenario planning, and coverage design in partnership with Sales and Finance.
- Support sales enablement and pipeline operations—build enablement content (playbooks, battlecards, client-facing collateral), operate pipeline governance processes to ensure hygiene and forecasting accuracy, and partner with Product and Marketing to arm Sales with institutional insights.
- Work closely with Sales, Marketing, BizOps, Finance, and Product to ensure alignment on metrics, territory planning, and operational goals.
- Possibility to supervise and mentor a team of analysts, providing direction, feedback, and growth opportunities.
Skills you should HODL
- Hands-on experience with HubSpot (or equivalent CRM), including pipeline management and sales enablement.
- Proven ability to analyze sales data, build dashboards (e.g., in AWS QuickSight or Excel), and translate insights into actionable recommendations.
- Proven track record of streamlining sales workflows, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing scalable processes across teams and geographies.
- Effective people leadership with experience managing analysts, plus strong communication skills for aligning with Sales, Marketing, and Finance stakeholders.
- Passion about the cryptocurrency world and most importantly a learning attitude about new crypto-industry trends.
- Working or at least personally involved with and part of the local crypto community.
